Sing it, sister! Go, Debbie!!! If you're a broken record, it's a good recording.
BTW, I like this line from Aimee Yermish's article:
We have to teach our kids the difference between being bored because you are being taught something you have already mastered and being bored because the work is intrinsically boring but still important.
The only thing I would add to that, in relation to this discussion, is that we need to recognize when the problem the child is having is boredom and when it's lack of preparedness for the memorization. Two very different issues, handled in two very different ways!
But good stuff! Thanks for posting the links.
